2012 Ford Focus Zetec Tdci 1.6L Diesel · IFZ 6935

The 2012 Ford Focus Zetec TDCI demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 at 97,045 miles recording a PASS and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2024-11-09 (92,819 miles) to 2022-07-25 (86,665 miles) also showed PASS results with no recorded issues. The single 2022-07-22 failure at 86,643 miles listed no defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a transient technical fault unrelated to structural or mechanical integrity. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant concerns in the last four years. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 6,932 miles annually. From 2022-07-25 (86,665 miles) to 2025-10-28 (97,045 miles), the car accumulated 10,380 miles over 3 years and 3 days, reflecting a consistent usage pattern. No abrupt spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident in the data, though the 2022-07-22 test occurred just three days before the 86,665-mile check, raising questions about the timing of the failure. The MOT history remains largely uneventful, with no recurring issues or advisories. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT consequences. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. While the vehicle’s maintenance history shows no critical faults, its age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm continued reliability.
